low plains drifter 10,665 Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I was using Skinners or Harringtons Lamb and rice with chicken wings oily fish etc, but started using £14.50 a sack stuff from the farm shop, the dogs wouldn't eat the Skinners when given the choice of the two, still get the meat and fish, but I'm not wasting money on expensive dry food if it's just oily cereal in the sack 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
